Draft Order: All new coaches names will be drawn randomly for their draft order and will all pick BEFORE veteran coaches. The following rules will be used to determine veteran coaches drafting order. They will draft 1-12, after new coaches.
Rules for Determining Draft Order:
1. All coaches will be ranked 1-12.
2. The winner of the Fantasy Bowl will receive the last selection (number12).
3. The Fantasy Bowl runner-up will receive the next to last selection (number11).
4. Remaining teams are sorted by regular season record, with worse records picking first, 1-10.
5. For teams that have a tied record, the tie will be broken as follows:
a. A team that didn�t make it to the playoffs will always pick before a team that did.
b. When two or more tied teams made it to the playoffs, their draft positions will be
determined by the order they were eliminated from the playoffs. The first one
eliminated, will receive the better draft position.
c. If the tie is still not broker and for teams that didn't make the playoffs, head-to-head
results will be used. Which is, who has the best record between the two coaches in
games played against each other.
d. If the tie is still not broken, then point differential for the entire season, including playoffs
will be used.
e. If the tie is still not broken, then most team yards for the season, including playoffs will
be used.
f. If the tie is still not broken, then a traditional flip of the coin will be done at the draft.
Rounds in the Draft: There will be 17 rounds in the draft. There will only be one of each player or team defense drafted. NO DUPLICATES ALLOWED. ie. Coach A and Coach B cannot both have Brett Favre on their rosters. A round in the draft will work just as it does in the NFL. All coaches will pick one player from the pool of available, eligible, players during their pre-determined turn and then the round ends.
In addition to their first round pick, all coaches will pick a NFL team logo that will represent that coach's team for the year and they will choose a name for their fantasy team. Non-NFL logos may be selected, BUT all non-NFL logos must be supplied by the coaches that pick them.
Eligible Players: Only NFL-eligible players for the current season may be drafted (i.e., no college [or younger] players). The one and only source that will be used to determine this is NFL.com
